Desmond, The

Slide · 12/8 · D major

The Desmond, The is a traditional Irish slide set in D major with a lively 12/8 meter typical of the genre. Because its exact composer and historical origins are not documented, the tune relies entirely on its transmission within the traditional repertoire. It is characterized by a bouncy, lilting rhythm that is well suited for accompanying traditional step dancing in the slide format.
